Burden transaction (AC/BR/GM)

Burden transactions are transactions that are automatically created during Activity Posting (AC190). A burden transaction is only created if the source transaction meets all of the parameters defined through the burden code and pool driver values. The amount for the burden transaction is equal to the amount of the source transaction multiplied by the appropriate burden pool rate.

Burden transactions are posted to the activity contained in the source transaction, and to the account category specified in the burden code. For example, general and administrative burden costs incurred on an equipment transaction for the DESIGN activity might be posted to a G&A account category for the DESIGN activity.

There is potential for calculating large volumes of burden transactions, depending on the number of burdens you calculate and the number of eligible cost transactions you post. For example, ten source transactions, each eligible for two burdens, will result in the creation of twenty new burden transactions.
